Join us for an intimate and thought-provoking tasting that brings together two ancient and revered beverages—tea and whiskey—in a guided exploration of the aesthetics of taste.

This is not just a pairing. It's a deep dive into how craftsmanship, terroir, and cultivar shape what we experience in the cup and in the glass. Through this comparative tasting, we’ll explore how both tea and whiskey marry art and science, how they reveal themselves through layered aromas, and how they invite us into a slower, more mindful way of drinking.

Whether you're a tea lover, a whiskey fan, or simply someone who enjoys fine food and drink with curiosity and intention, this experience is designed to awaken your senses and expand your palate.

Get your tickets today and join us in celebrating the beauty of composition, craftsmanship, and mindful indulgence.
